Hello Apple - I started an integrated course back in 1998 and there were people of all ages attending. The ages of people who secured airline emlployment rapidly was quite diverse, the youngest 20, the oldest in his mid 30's. I don't think your age is a problem.
One suggestion I have is to attend the PPRuNe Seminar on 13/12/02. I think it would be worth your while to get advice from people who know what is going on and can evaluate you face to face - you will feel more confident with whatever decision you make then.
All the best
PS For what it's worth, I've never regretted undertaking my flying course, loved every moment from the first flight to a pass after the dreaded IRT.
